Glacier Hiking

Blue ice special

A glacier is water in solid form that is in constant movement. It behaves like a river, faster on the surface and in the middle, slower at the sides and towards the bottom. It doesn’t go fast, just a few meters a year. The ice is brittle and creates crawesess were the glacier passes over rugged terrain. Big towers of ice and mountain backs are a result of the same natural phenomenon.

Jotunheimen has many glacier to explore. Our partner, Naturopplevingar, will meet you in Lom. From there, they will take you to the glacier best suitable for the size of the group, the weather and the time of the season.

The guide will give you all information about how to use the necessary equiptment and take you on a hike on snow and ice. The trip will take you into ice crawessess, through portals and ice tunnels. You will also get information about the “life” of the glacier and how it has contributed to carving and forming the landscape around it. There will also be an opportunity to challenge vertical ice walls.
